OLIVER
Safrin had almost implied him desiring purpose meant he didn't also want respect, but he'd rather not get into an argument with her. He had to prove himself to be loyal, not to be a stick in the ass.
Something he had said seemed to have struck correctly. The goddess crept closer, so close he was greeted with the scent of lilacs. His eyes widened slightly and he stared into her eyes, almost entranced. She asked him of something simple, really. Explaining that she wasn't what he might've perceived her to be before...and she was probably right. He shouldn't go to her expecting to be shown nothing but love and it was narcissistic of him to expect the gods to immediately come to him, especially when he had such trivial things to ask of them before. Couldn't remember shit? Big deal. No wonder why they never answered to him before.
Gulping, Oliver would've nodded if she wasn't still holding onto his neck. "Yes, I understand." Short and sweet, something that he seemed to struggle with. Oliver rambled and babbled a lot and he knew he needed to get better at it, so he was trying his best.
